Sal Wormley named to 2024 Outland Trophy watch list

College football’s award watch list season is in full swing this week, and a number of Penn State players are having their names thrown on the national radar as a result. On Tuesday, the Outland Trophy watch list was released by the Football Writers Association of America, and offensive lineman Sal Wormley was included.

The Outland Trophy is awarded to the nation’s top interior lineman and can go to an offensive or defensive player. The award is named after John Outland, a former All-American at two positions who played college football for Penn and Kansas in the late 1890s. The award was first presented in 1946 to Notre Dame tackle George Connor.

Wormley is looking to become just the second Penn State player to win the award. The only other Nittany Lion to win the Outland Trophy in its history is Mike Reid, who did so in 1969. Wormley started all 13 games for the Nittany Lions last season, starting every game at right guard. He is expected to remain at right guard this season. T’Vondre Seat of Texas was last season’s Outland Trophy winner.
